Our client, a prominent automotive and manufacturing company in Japan, employs over 40,000 professionals and manages 382 domestic and international subsidiaries across 16 countries, generating gross sales of 16,907 billion yen. With SAP set to end support for its current platform by 2025 in favor of the advanced S/4HANA system, the client faces an urgent need to adapt. Failing to transition to S/4HANA could lead to operational vulnerabilities, including potential system interruptions, and significant business risks. To ensure uninterrupted operations and global scalability, the client must upgrade to the S/4HANA platform, embracing a robust and future-proof solution to maintain continuity and support sustainable growth.
Seamless Migration to Future-Ready Cloud Infrastructure
To ensure the sustainability and continuity of the client’s business operations, VTI successfully completed the migration of their core system to a new platform before the end of lifecycle support for the existing SAP system. This proactive approach minimized risks of operational disruptions and safeguarded the client’s ability to maintain seamless operations.
- Existing System: Cloud Service Common Platform (SaaS)
- New System: Original Cloud Service (IaaS, PaaS)
Migration Strategies:
- Rehost (Lift and Shift): The current SAP system and its data were migrated with minimal changes to the infrastructure. This approach ensured a swift transition while maintaining existing functionalities.
- Replatform: When migrating on-premise firewall services, utilize AWS Network Firewall within the Landing Zone framework to streamline management and enhance security.
Project Overview & Cutting-Edge Technology Integration
- Team size: 4
- Duration: 12 months
- Working model: Onsite
The project utilized a robust suite of technical tools to enable a seamless migration and optimized performance on the new platform. Key technologies included SAP S/4HANA as the core ERP system, ensuring compliance with SAP’s latest standards and enhanced functionality. Oracle was leveraged for its powerful database management capabilities, while SUSE Linux provided a stable and scalable operating environment. Cloud solutions played a pivotal role, with Azure, AWS, and IBM Cloud integrated to ensure flexibility, resilience, and global accessibility for the migrated infrastructure. These tools collectively ensured a scalable, efficient, and future-proof solution tailored to the client’s operational needs.
